A new podcast is born: Data Without Borders!

A while back the DataPortability Steering Group members J. Trent Adams, Steven Greenberg and myself had the idea to start a new podcast series around the topic of data portability. After a bit of discussions and setup it now has arrived:

Please note though that although we are all part of the DP Steering Group this is not an official podcast of the DataPortability Project. All opinions mentioned are only our personal opinions.

The first episode was recorded last week, shortly after the live launch of facebook connect and of course has it’s as a topic. The other topic we cover is the closing of Pownce.

I don't want my data to become portable. I don't mind signing up afresh for each new service. Honestly. Don't make stuff up. This isn't a consumer demand, it's a geek demand, and one not *really* based on *consumer* convenience, but on gaining access for geeks to sell their widgets to services. Let's be clear on that, shall we?
